I prefer only high quality pieces, but to each their own...

did anyone stop to think that where the companies are located plays a factor in dynoing, because it does. different altitudes, temps.. did they have the fan in front of the car, your going to get the same power from all, just buy what you think looks the best!!!!

Here is an E-bay special. I got it for @$50 shipped. I tossed the filter (even though it was cotton gauze) and put a K&N on it. No fitment issues at all. It bolted right up with no problems. Total invested was @$80.

This is my wife's 02 OZ.

Either way, when RRM drops the turbo, the CAI's are done.
cool bro. well said. and yeah, if i had a ralliart and the flow for an rrm turbo, i'd be right there with you... we'd be like, injen? aem? WHO THE HELL CARES!

/tires squeeling
/exhaust roaring
/blow-off valve... PPPPSSSSSHHHHHHTTTTTT!

yep. thought about it. wrote about it in the first post. can't say i agree with going based solely on looks though. not with an intake anyhow. its a functional part, so function first, looks second. if it was a bodykit, it would probably be the other way around.

I cant believe that I just read this whole thread. What a waste. And for the record...I MADE my own CAI...because the only one out was the 2 piece from RRM and I didnt have $220 for it. So I went to a shop and made a little pipe...bought a filter and BAMMM! Intake! It works and sounds great. I will be going to a Dyno Day on Nov. 7 so I will give better details later.

Icy Hot Stuntaz - white boy rap group from down south, trying to be serious, but ended up just getting laughed off the internet, deservingly so. Last I heard, through fark.com or some similar site, the guy on the right with no shirt was trying to be a solo rapper.

Yeah, they sound as bad as they look. Here ya go, enjoy laughing your *** off:

wish i could give you those 5 minutes of your life back... wait a minute. no, i don't.



seriously though, props for making your own cai. what was the final price damage? and definitely post the dyno once you get that done.
